EZ-Steer® Auxiliary Motor Steering: Simplified Control for Trolling and Maneuvering
When anglers and boaters need precise control of their auxiliary outboard from the main helm, EZ-Steer® has built a reputation for innovative steering solutions that eliminate the complexity of traditional linkage systems. The brand's approach to auxiliary motor steering centers on patented self-adjusting technology and streamlined product design that makes installation and operation remarkably straightforward for both weekend anglers and marine professionals.
The EZ-Steer Universal System: Consolidating Complexity
The EZ-Steer Universal system consolidates over 1,000 SKU combinations into just 18 streamlined kits, addressing one of the most frustrating aspects of auxiliary steering: finding the right components for your specific boat configuration. The Universal line offers three offset options—3″, 4″, and 7″—and a versatile range of center-to-center distances, engineered for compatibility with most outboard and sterndrive applications. This simplified selection process means boaters spend less time searching through compatibility charts and more time on the water.
The design philosophy behind these kits focuses on integrated steering that allows control of the auxiliary engine from the main wheel for added safety and convenience. Whether you're trolling for salmon, positioning for structure fishing, or maneuvering in tight marina spaces, the system maintains an unrestricted forward view while keeping both engines synchronized through your primary helm.
Patented Self-Adjusting Technology
What sets EZ-Steer apart in the auxiliary steering category is a patented self-adjusting rod system that steers the auxiliary outboard motor from the main wheel, using the built-in turn stops on the engines to automatically adjust. This eliminates the need to disconnect the steering linkage when raising or lowering your kicker motor independently—a common frustration with traditional rigid connecting rods. The self-adjusting mechanism accommodates the different angles and positions of your auxiliary motor throughout normal operation, adapting seamlessly whether you're running on the main engine or trolling with the auxiliary.
Built for Real-World Marine Conditions
EZ-Steer auxiliary motor steering systems are constructed with marine-grade materials designed to withstand constant exposure to saltwater and the mechanical stress of frequent use. The brackets feature powder-coated stainless steel construction, while connectors use brass components and stainless steel tie-rods to resist corrosion. These kits are engineered for auxiliary engines up to 25 horsepower and accommodate most outboard-powered vessels, including sailboats with auxiliary propulsion setups.
For anglers who rely on precise boat positioning during trolling runs, the integrated steering approach provides tangible advantages. You maintain control from your usual helm position with full visibility, eliminating the need to reach back to manually steer a kicker motor. The system also contributes to improved fuel efficiency when running a main-kicker combination, as synchronized steering reduces drag and allows for optimized main engine operation during trolling speeds.
